I wasn't too sure about his game but after watching this, I'm going to do my best to clear some time up to play through it. This has a serious Scorsese vibe to it based on the opening. Hopefully the story is just as good, or better, throughout!

neutralgamer19922784d ago

the opening is the strongest part of the game. after that there are countless issues from actual game wise to technical issues

keep an eye on out on some reviews

badz1492783d ago

The review embargo is on launch day. Go figure.

From recent memories, that usually means bad news.

neutralgamer19922783d ago

Badz

This studio was put together in 2014. They built their own engine if I am not mistaken so that's not enough time to develop a game after starting from scratch

People don't want to hear it but this game will be quite average

Everything we have seen has been a well controlled demo

So right now people can disagree but facts will come out very soon

Gameplay is there
Opening is strong

World is boring and repetitive with not much to do besides actual side missions(unlike gta world which is filled with random stuff)

You may encounter the same enemy model in the fight. For example you could be fighting 3 enemies who not only look a like but also are wearing the same clothes and have the same weapons and say the same words during fights

Technical issues are everywhere too

After the strong opening the story becomes quite weak

Main missions are behind a side activity wall. This is dome to extend the lenght of the game

There is very little customizations at launch

But right now people don't want to hear it

The story along with the atmosphere is pretty much nailed, 2K Games shouldn't have been so paranoid with the embargoes because it looks good so far. Will wait to see more but if this remains consistent, I can see myself buying this.

Also I thought it was pretty funny that the player and I were thinking alike when it came to throwing the guard in the furnace.

How the heck are the in-game cut scenes worse looking than live gameplay?

Amplitude2783d ago

ehhhh i'll rent it. look's alright

UCForce2783d ago

I looked the video of Mafia 3. I'm still going to buy it.

More people should be making a trip to this bayou.

Agreed....game was fantastic. Especially as a person of color, I enjoyed the side missions.

I'm Black myself, which is different from Lincoln who is bi racial. (It's trendy to ignore that mixed people are half White for some reason) What would color have to do with enjoying a game like this? Imagine if people playing God of War were like "Gee, I'm enjoying playing as a White person right now". If we want others to relate to things other than skin color, we have to start setting an example as "People of Color" (That term is so stupid btw)

InklingGirl675d ago

I wonder if this comment will get removed like mine? It shouldn't but I'm just curious.

"What would color have to do with enjoying a game like this?"

Skin colour matters a lot in the story and setting of Mafia 3. It even affects the gameplay.

The comparison to God Of War doesn't make sense.

I'm Irish (as in, a person born in Ireland), and I'd probably enjoy a game where you can fight in the Irish War of Independence ... a bit more than the average Brit. lol. Who cares? If a British person "Imagine if ...", I'd just laugh.

LucasRuinedChildhood675d ago (Edited 675d ago )

*said "Imagine if ..."

Also, it is cool when you play an Irish character in a game who doesn't put on a leprechaun accent like Tom Cruise did. "Shannon! Tell me you like my hat!" https://youtu.be/eKrEVWGTuR...

Terry_B675d ago

nah..its mediocre and repetitive.

Demetrius675d ago (Edited 675d ago )

I played it once and it was very frustrating compared to mafia 2 I like to enjoy games not get raged all up 😂😂

XbladeTeddy675d ago

It was repetitive and boring. Not a good game at all.

Yi-Long675d ago

The game looked interesting, and from the trailers it seemed it had a great soundtrack, but the buggy release (AI) and disappointing reviews made me pass on it. No idea if they ever fixed its shortcomings post-launch.

XbladeTeddy675d ago

They could only polish a turd so much. Wasn't good at release and isn't good now.

MadLad675d ago

Weakest game in the series.

AuraAbjure675d ago

People said that about Wolfenstein:Youngblood. I played youngblood and it is a masterpiece and so awesome and entertaining and badass, with ray tracing too. Is Mafia 3 a great game on its own merit? I understand compared to the other Mafias, you feel it's weak.

MadLad672d ago

I respectfully disagree.

GTA V, Mafia, and Red Dead Redemption 2 VR mods are dead – and Take 2 Interactive killed them

From VG247: "If you’ve been enjoying either Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V, or Mafia: The Definitive Edition in VR thanks to some handy fan-made mods, we’ve got some bad news. Thanks to a DMCA claim by Take Two Interactive - the parent company of Rockstar Games and 2K - has led development on the most popular VR mods to grind to a halt.

This news comes via Luke Ross - the sole creator of a variety of VR mods for the aforementioned games - who released a lengthy post to his supporters. In it, he claims to have received a DMCA request from Take Two Interactive for his projects and that the company requested that he “remove all their copyrighted works from [his] Patreon page”. This was confirmed by Kotaku who reached out to Patreon directly."

Orbilator678d ago

Get the mods on a torrent site and tell the world were they are.

Duke19678d ago

I mean, if he was modding a game that someone else built, and charging for it on patreon - this seems pretty cut and dry for a DMCA.

If he was not profiting from it in any way though, would be nice to let companies let this shit slide more often

Top 10 Mafia 3 Characters

KeenGamer: "Mafia 3 has a huge cast of characters - good, bad, and both - but these 10 characters were the ones who stood out the most. With Mafia 3 set in the 1960's, these characters are influenced by the ever-changing times and the people surrounding them."
